Olympic rower Morgan Bolding opens new Holbeach Aldi




Scores of people had an early start this morning to ensure that they were among the first to shop in a new supermarket.

The grand opening of Aldi in Fleet Street, in Holbeach, brought out the crowds who were eager to have a look around a long-awaited store - along with meeting Olympic athlete Morgan Bolding.

The rowing star - who was wearing his medal - officially opened the store along with having his photograph taken with shoppers.

Morgan said: “It has been lovely as it’s six months after the games and to see so many people excited about the Olympics was fantastic to see.

“It’s heartwarming to see.”

Aldi has spent months transforming a former South Holland District Council depot site into a plush new store - which created more than 30 jobs.
